Improving awareness on the fireground
Dave Dowling recommends a holistic approach towards crisis management that he says will ensure key decision makers are adequately prepared for their emergency role
In This Section:
“We will not be able to deliver working alone, and it is my belief that better collaboration – certainly amongst fire and rescue services – is essential. However, no less important is the benefit from working more closely with other emergency services”
Surrey CFO Russell Pearson on the main challenges facing the Service over the next decade
“Stretching Surrey Fire and Rescue Service’s resources to their limit, Thursley led to a concerted effort by the service to seek improvement. Although it was not the first wildfire in the county to test the service, combined with audit reviews from the Red Road, Pirbright and Whitmore Common wildfires, it was becoming clear that things needed to change”
Surrey FRS develop its approach to wildfires
“The FIRE magazine Centennial Conference aims to provide practical guidance to principal fire officers, training managers and HR practitioners from the UK Fire and Rescue Service in regard to the successful implementation of a range of complementary leadership strategies within their respective brigades”
Editor Andrew Lynch on FIRE’s upcoming conference
“Leaders UK opened a new world to me which I was honoured to be able to participate in. My development of a Youth Engagement strategy, which in normal circumstances would have been unlikely, is one highlight of my experiences from the programme”
Peter Murray describes his experience of the Leaders UK programme
